About this Location

Facility Overview

The Euclid Garage (historically recognized across campus as the North Garage) is a high-capacity, multi-level covered parking structure situated at 224 S. Euclid Avenue in the heart of St. Louis's vibrant Central West End (ZIP 63110). Serving as a critical parking gateway for the Washington University Medical Campus, Barnes-Jewish Hospital North, and the Center for Advanced Medicine (CAM), this facility offers an ultra-convenient, climate-protected parking experience. One of the garage's standout architectural specifications is its exceptional vertical clearance of 8 feet, 4 inches (8'4"), which is notably higher than standard municipal decks. This generous clearance effortlessly accommodates full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, and specialized wheelchair-accessible conversion vans. The garage features wide driving lanes, well-marked directional signage, bright illumination, elevator banks, and a dedicated 3rd-floor drop-off area seamlessly connected to healthcare clinics via an enclosed pedestrian walkway.

Patients and clinic visitors should remember to bring their parking ticket inside to their physician's reception desk or clinic lobby, as most campus practices provide a 50% outpatient validation discount.
